While I don't have knowledge of these specific models, I've been unhappy with every Kuhmo I've driven on. Specifically, stopping distance is poor. I actually replaced the factory Kuhmos on my wife's car within 2000 miles of new. Made it a completely different car especially in wet weather.

I won't put them on any of my cars, even if you give them to me.

Your mileage and happieness may vary...

Please don't take this as an attack on you personally, but Kumho = Korean. Korean tires = junk. (Kumho, Hankook, etc.)

Always remember these 2 principles:
1- you nearly always get what you pay for
2- Buy the best and cry only once

I have heard both good and bad about Kumho, I have had both good and bad experiences with cheap brand tires and I have had good and bad experiences with expensive name brand tires, if it's a good deal, try them.
